Where's Fox?
Continuing his investigation.
You're not working together?
No. This is my investigation.
Of...?
You.
I have no idea what you mean.
I thought at first that they were eccentricities or affectations - the dark, the clothes - but it's photosensitivity. Your sleeves cover up skin lesions. It's why you're here amongst the humans instead of out in the field. Systemic lupus erythematosus.
Lupus... From the Latin for "wolf." Ironic, isn't it?
Ironic or perverse?
I've ignored the symptoms for years. I've always felt more like a wolf than a person.
But not with Mulder. With Mulder, you found somebody you could communicate with.... someone who challenged you... But that wasn't enough. You needed to lure him out here.
(flatly) I lack your feminine wiles.
(looks away for a moment) You don't believe it, do you - not for a minute - that there's an animal out there killing?
I don't believe that this man, Dr. Detweiler, ever caught it. I lived in Asia. I know about the Wanshang Dhole and if it survived for over a century it was because it was more cunning than man, more cunning than this man Detweiler ever dreamed of.
More cunning than you? (Karin looks surprised; Scully warns her) I'm watching you.
You watch... But you don't see.
